    Where to buy new Playstation PS1 (european) CD Jewel Cases?

    I just got a lot of 8 PS1 games, and although they're overall in good condition, they could use some brand new boxes, like this one:

    Do you have a favourite source for these?

    I'm looking on eBay.co.uk / eBay.de for cheap sealed games, but it's difficult to find someone that have so many for cheap...

    I think you mean PS1 CD Jewel Cases. Not boxes.
    I have not seen new ones anywhere sorry :(
    I too would like to know.

    I used to look for these some time ago. You should know that not all cases are identical, there are ten or so different ones. So buying a "generic" ps1 jewel case might turn into a wrong one for your needs.

    Do you know any link where to see all 10 different types?? All 10 from Europe btw??

    I know 3 so far:
    - "generic" PS1 case (the one in the picture in the 1st post)
    - Double CD case (original release of Ridge Racer, Tomb Raider)
    - "non-transparent borders" case (I don't know exactly how to define it, the one used for Micro Maniacs, Porsche Challenge, NFSII):

    I haven't see any website comparing PS1 PAL cases, however, I do remember while most cases seemed similar, had slightly different sizes, I guess due their gigantic booklets. Some games had more than five languages printed on their booklets, and used different sizes in order for properly fit them. I sold most of my PS1 PAL games collection back in the end 90's and I "converted" my remaining ones into regular DVD cases.
